Conflicts can arise between siblings over land inheritance. Illustration photo by VnExpress/Ngoc Thanh
My sister borrowed the title deed for the land that my brother inherited but has not returned it after four years. I fear an inheritance dispute is imminent.
I remember reading a few months ago about a contentious legal battle between 11 siblings over the inheritance of 12,000 square meters of land left by their parents. Now my family is also about to get involved in a dispute over inheritance assets.
I am the youngest brother among us three siblings. I live with my mother, while my older brother and sister have their own families and live separately. For some reason, they eventually moved back to live near my mother’s house.
Seeing this, my mother divided her land into smaller plots and gave one to my older brother but did not establish a separate title deed for that plot. My sister borrowed my mother’s title deed, which also pertains to my brother’s land plot, to take out a bank loan four years ago but has not repaid her debt.
I brought this issue up with my mother, but she keeps saying that everything is okay. However, I find the situation concerning, as my sister promised to return the document by the end of last year, then delayed it to this April, and again to the end of this year.
This situation is giving me a headache. Should I do something to prevent a fight from breaking out?
